5-Benzyloxyindole CAS 1215-59-4

5-Benzyloxyindole (CAS:1215-59-4) is an important organic reagents.

Its main applications including:

1. 5-Benzyloxyindole is a key benzyloxy-substituted indole precursor for preparing 5-hydroxyindole pharmaceutical and bioactive intermediates.
2. 5-Benzyloxyindole is widely used substrate for metal-catalyzed coupling and heterocyclic modification reactions in fine organic synthesis.
3. 5-Benzyloxyindole is a core raw material for synthesizing indole-based drug molecules, neural activity regulators and heterocyclic functional chemicals.

1. Seal tightly and store below 25°C in dry dark warehouse to avoid photodegradation of benzyloxy substituted indole structure.
2. Keep away from high temperature and heat sources to prevent thermal decomposition of benzyl ether functional group.
3. Store separately from strong oxidants, concentrated strong acids and catalytic hydrogenation reagents to prevent structural cleavage.

1. Avoid inhalation of crystalline dust; wear dust mask and chemical-resistant gloves during weighing and transfer.
2. Do not ingest the solid; flush exposed eyes and skin with abundant running water immediately after contact.
3. Dispose waste residues and filtrate strictly following aromatic ether hazardous waste management standards.

1. The benzyloxy group can be easily deprotected via hydrogenolysis to obtain hydroxyl group for further indole derivatization.
2. The indole ring and benzyloxy substituent maintain stable structure under normal mild synthesis heating conditions.
3. High purity solid reduces miscellaneous impurities in the preparation of high-value indole pharmaceutical intermediates.
